Before being cut, real Christmas trees absorb air pollutants and sequester carbon dioxide and emit fresh oxygen. Real trees are biodegradable and after the season can be recycled as mulch or compost, added to the landscape as food and habitat for wildlife, or placed into lakes and ponds to benefit aquatic life.
